The session run by Becky Willson from the Farm Carbon Toolkit covered an in-depth overview of the main emitters of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases on-farm, delving into topics such as how farmers can increase carbon sequestration in soil, trees and hedges to help fight climate change.

The event gave farmers the opportunity to discuss how simple actions can be implemented within soil, nutrient and livestock management plans—not only increase carbon capture, but to reduce costs too through reducing fuel and electricity consumption.

Following the workshop, farmers will receive a visit from their local coordinator to help kick-start a simple carbon action plan, discussing short, medium and long-term solutions to reduce emissions.
